    WICKET

    Cross c Sandhu b Umm-e-Hani 6 (Eng 236-9)

    Kate Cross tries to repeat that cracking shot from the previous over but this time the ball ends in the hands of long-on.

  2. Eng 235-8

    Spinner Umm-e-Hani has started the penultimate over well. Just a couple of singles so far.

    Great shot. Moves her feet, gets to the pitch of the ball, whacks it down the ground and smiles as she hits it!

    She plays that shot so well. She's got a lovely swing when she's playing well. She hit the first ever six of The Hundred, remember. She's not a tailender - she just bats in the tail.

  4. Eng 233-8

    Glenn 8, Cross 5

    Boshed for four by Kate Cross! She was given the build-up by her mate Alex Hartley and delivers the shot of the day.

    Cross has smashed that back over the bowler's head. No wonder she's beaming.

  5. How's stat?!

    Kate Cross is currently the third highest run-scorer in the world batting at 10.

    Lea Tahuhu and Alisa Mohammed are ahead of her. Crossy is on 199 runs, Tahuhu has 237, and Mohammed is at the top on 241.

  6. England were 185-4 not too long ago. The innings has fallen away since then...

    Charlie Dean had her eyes fixed on the bails as they went down, just to check it wasn't the keeper doing some woopsy-woo.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Dean b Dar 20 (Eng 227-8)

    Another goes! Are England in trouble here?

    They lose their eighth wicket as Charlie Dean swipes across the line, misses and is bowled.

  9. Eng 227-7

    Dean 20, Glenn 7

    Charlie Dean nails a sweep into the deep again but this time is kept down to a single. It means she loses the strike and Pakistan are able to join the dots.

  10. How's stat?!

    England's Manhattan is lacking in late-over skyscrapers - only twice have they scored 12 or more in an over today.

    Manhattan

  11. Eng 224-7

    England lost their last eight wickets for 58 runs in the third T20 on Sunday so the lower order can hardly claim to be in form.

    Sarah Glenn gets off the mark right away.

    EcclestonePA Media

    A really soft dismissal there from Ecclestone. Interestingly, Nida Dar gets her out and then goes up to Soph and gives her a tap on the back. They've played a lot of cricket against each other those two.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Ecclestone c Shamas b Dar 1 (Eng 218-7)

    Another one bites the dust.

    England are in danger of falling in a heap here. Sophie Ecclestone hits the ball straight down the throat of long-on.

    Often in the commentary I get very excited, I'm out of my seat, loving every single moment. But I've been bored today.

  15. Eng 218-6

    Dean 18, Ecclestone 1

    Pakistan spinner Umm-e-Hani concedes just a couple from the 45th over. We can probably forget about that 280 target as a result.

  16. Here's Sophie Ecclestone...

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Because there was no pace on the ball, Alice Capsey went back and then, as she went to punch it down the ground, just leant forward. Because she's trying to generate the pace she's got her timing wrong.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Capsey c&b Sandhu 44 (Eng 216-6)

    Ah. Ctrl c + Ctrl v. An England batter gets in and then gives it away.

    Alice Capsey follows that good shot with a tame chip back into the hands of Nashra Sandu. It was slow enough for her to have hit anywhere but there.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Sounds

    Charlie Dean is the only batter that has come out today and actually been busy and played a few shots.

  20. Eng 216-5

    More improvisation from Charlie Dean gets her a couple more as she flicks the ball over her shoulder. She has upped the ante from the moment she arrived at the crease.

    It now seems to have sparked Alice Capsey into life too. Having seen her scoring rate stall, she reverse sweeps her first boundary in a while.
